Abstract

A mobile wireless communications device may include a portable housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) carried by the portable housing, and wireless transceiver circuitry carried by the PCB. The mobile wireless communications device also may include an antenna coupled to the wireless transceiver circuitry. The antenna may include a loop conductor, a first conductor body coupled to the loop conductor and extending into the interior thereof to define a first slotted opening with adjacent portions of the loop conductor, and a second conductor body coupled to the loop conductor and extending into the interior thereof to define a second slotted opening with adjacent portions of the loop conductor. The antenna may further include a conductor arm coupled to the loop conductor and extending outwardly therefrom. The first and second conductor bodies may be spaced apart to define a third slotted opening therebetween.
